Well dang. Hooray for reruns, but if it's worth rerunning the first two seasons, then shouldn't it be worth another season? Hopefully this is to gauge interest before green-lighting a 3rd season on a different channel.

Edit: I think they finally found a channel to call home, as SCI's average viewers are "people like us". I bet it gets higher ratings in it's new home

Realistically there's no chance of reruns on a third tier network getting ratings as good as new episodes on ABC. "People like us" aka for the most part, those under ~35 are also opting out of cable at a very high rate and won't even have the ability to watch the science channel.

The main problem all along was ABC didn't market the show at all and the target audience didn't even know battlebots was back on air. That won't change.

But I thought ratings were subjective to the avg. views other shows in the same channel get?
